Fire Inside by Kristen Ashley (Book two of the Chaos series)

Title: Fire Inside Author: Kristen Ashley Series: Chaos Genre: Contemporary romance Published: 2013 Rating: 4.5 stars Oh my goodness, I still can’t believe I’m reading books about a motorcycle club. AND LOVING THEM. SO MUCH. Note to self: must read Dream Man series, and soon. Fire Inside is the second book in Kristen’s series about the Chaos Motorcycle Club, and its timeline pretty much runs parallel to the events of the first, Own the Wind. We see little glimpses of Shy and Tab throughout (and they’re super cute!), but the focus is definitely on Lanie and Hop–where, of course, it should be. Lanie Heron is Tyra’s…

Willowleaf Lane by RaeAnne Thayne (Book five of Hope’s Crossing series)

Title: Willowleaf Lane Author: RaeAnne Thayne Series: Hope’s Crossing Genre: Contemporary romance Published: 2013 Rating: 3.5 stars Candy store owner Charlotte Caine recently turned her life around. She grew up with six older brothers and had always been on the chubby side, but it wasn’t until the age of twelve when her mother died from cancer that she began to really put on weight as a method of coping with life. Fast forward fifteen years or so, and another life altering event–one of her brothers losing an eye and part of his arm fighting overseas–inspires her to eat smarter, exercise, and lose eighty pounds. Life…

Lover Be Mine by Nicole Jordan (Book two of the Legendary Lovers series)

 Title: Lover Be Mine Author: Nicole Jordan Series: Legenary Lovers Genre: Historical romance Published: 2013 Rating: 3.5 stars Lover Be Mine is the second book in the Legendary Lovers series by Nicole Jordan. I haven’t read the first one yet, Princess Charming, though I do have it–if memory serves, I bought it back when Eloisa James featured it on one of her Barnes & Noble columns, maybe? I’m not sure. All I know is it looked good, I bought it, but I just haven’t gotten around to reading it yet. I received this one through the Early Reviewers program at LibraryThing, though, so I wanted to read…

Indulgence Cover Reveal(s)!

Indulgence Books has a brand new look, and it’s gorgeous! See? What did I tell you? According to their publicity department,  “Indulgence books are short contemporary romances.  They are new, fresh, edgy, light, and whimsical and always have a happily ever after.” Exactly what I’m looking for! 🙂 Here’s some of what they’ve got planned for this month, and they sound great: Famously Engaged, by Robyn Thomas A chef and a rock star. They couldn’t be from more different worlds… Rock star royalty’s favorite son, Jake Olsen, couldn’t help but interfere after listening to his future brother-in-law talk non-stop about his ex-wife,…

Own the Wind by Kristen Ashley (Book one in the Chaos series)

 Title: Own the Wind Author: Kristen Ashley Series: Chaos Genre: Contemporary romance Published: 2013 Rating: 5 stars Favorite quote (okay, one of many): “I decided that all’s well that ends without bloodshed.” An excellent rule of thumb. Oh. My. Gosh. I sooooo get the Kristen Ashley fangirl squeeing that’s been going on online now. I. Loved. This. Book. Must read book two SOON. Like, REALLY soon. You feel me? 😉 Own the Wind is the first in Ashley’s new series, Chaos, which focuses on the Chaos Motorcycle Club. It’s her first published with a “bona fide publisher”, as Kristen writes in her acknowledgements (previously, she self-published). It’s…
